We're all-electric. No gas or oil for heat - we have a ground source system, though we have a wood burning stove for supplemental heat. Our total power bill averages about $100 to $120 a month year round. It's never gone over $200 in over four years.

Just got ours today. A freak'n $140 for one month. This is out rageous .

My place is electrically heated. Last month the bill was $92. I have had winter bills as high as $150 in the past. The electric companies bill higher in the winter and for consumers. Many industrial complexes pay a fixed yearly rate, but that option is not available for the home user.

In other homes that were gas heated, I have had gas bills as high as $250.

Bundled electricity, water, garbage collection and sewer in LA(DWP): between $275 and $325 every two months for a 1200 square foot, two bedroom, two bathroom house.

That did not include natural gas which we used for cooking and heating. The natural gas bill ranged from under $10 a month in the warmer months when we only used it for cooking, to almost $200 a month in the colder months when we used it for heating, as well.

Mine is usually about $200 a month, and that is with no heat or A/C. 90% of our electricity in Hawaii comes from oil, so it is very expensive - and at the mercy of the world oil markets. When oil goes up our Electricity goes up. When oil goes down, it goes down much slower than it went up. Funny how that works.

It's been $215 per month for the last couple of years, but this month it's due to drop to an even $200 due to my persistent nagging at my wife, who likes the thermostat set at 79 in winter and 70 in summer.

Stumblin' thru da ghost town.....

I have the same problem in the winter with my wife. If I had my way it'd never crack 70, even on sub-zero days. (Which we have plenty of this time of year.)

I abuse the AC though. I actually prefer winter weather to the dog days. I'm a sweaty fatass.
